Grades 8–9
Algebra 1
Algebra 1 is the course that decides most students' mathematical path. TM MATH STUDIO teaches it as one connected idea — relationships between quantities — rather than a list of procedures, so students can solve unfamiliar problems rather than recognise familiar ones.
Topics covered
What the course contains.
- Expressions, equations and inequalities
- Functions, domain and range
- Linear functions and modelling
- Systems of equations and inequalities
- Exponents and polynomial operations
- Factoring and quadratic functions
Learning objectives
- Model real situations with linear and quadratic functions
- Move fluently between table, graph, equation and context
- Solve systems by graphing, substitution and elimination
- Factor and solve quadratics, and explain what the solutions mean
Assessment approach
- Warm-up check-in each class
- Unit checkpoints every three weeks
- Skill-level mastery tracking
- Mid-term and end-of-course mastery review
What students receive
- Live classes plus indexed recordings
- Daily 5-Minute Math Boost practice
- Weekly challenge problems
- Unit checkpoints with written feedback
- Parent progress reports
Questions
Algebra 1 FAQ
Is this aligned to school Algebra 1?
Yes. The sequence covers standard Algebra 1 content, with more time on functions and reasoning.
Can a student repeat a unit?
Yes, at no extra cost. Students advance on checkpoint mastery.
Does this help with school grades?
Most families see school work become easier, but we do not promise a specific grade outcome.
